NO INTERNATIONAL GRANTS GIVEN IN 2024. ORIGINAL RESEARCH, SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND HEALTH POLICY TOPICS ARE PRESENTED. THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE ARE PUBLISHED IN ONE OF THE ASSOCIATION'S OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS, JOURNAL OF ARTHROPLASTY. ADDITIONAL ACCREDITED CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION ACTIVITIES WERE CONDUCTED.

• HEALTH POLICY ACTIVITIES - FEDERAL POLICY MAKERS IN CONGRESS AND THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WERE PROVIDED INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS ABOUT TOTAL JOINT ARTHROPLASTY OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. THIS ASSISTS THE GOVERNMENT IN MAKING BETTER DECISIONS ON HEALTHCARE RELATED MATTERS THAT AFFECT MILLIONS OF PATIENTS. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO ORGANIZES AND SUPPORTS A HEALTH POLICY FELLOWS PROGRAM THAT ALLOWED SEVERAL SURGEON-MEMBERS TO ATTEND VARIOUS EVENTS IN WASHINGTON DC AND ELSEWHERE RELATED TO HEALTH POLICY AND TO INTERACT WITH HIGH-LEVEL FEDERAL OFFICIALS AND LEGISLATORS. THE HEALTH POLICY FELLOWSHIP ALLOWS THE PARTICIPANTS TO BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE AT UNDERSTANDING AND ASSISTING THE PROCESS BY WHICH POLICY BECOMES LAW AND REGULATION.

• RESEARCH - THE ASSOCIATION PRODUCES TWO PEER-REVIEWED MEDICAL JOURNALS, THE JOURNAL OF ARTHROPLASTY AND ARTHROPLASTY TODAY. THESE JOURNALS CONVEY THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH THAT CAN ALTER AND IMPROVE THE PRACTICE OF TOTAL JOINT ARTHROPLASTY. THE ASSOCIATION'S RESEARCH COMMITTEE ALSO CONDUCTED THE EVALUATION OF GRANT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED FOR FUNDING TO THE RELATED FOUNDATION FOR ARTHROPLASTY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. FELLOWSHIP GRANT RECIPIENTS MUST HAVE A CURRENT PROGRAM AGREEMENT WITH AAHKS AND SF MATCH ACCOUNT. RECEIPT OF FUNDS REQUIRES COMPLETION OF A FELLOWSHIP MATCH PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND COORDINATOR SURVEY.

• QUALITY MEASURES PROJECT - INTENDED TO ALIGN WITH THE CMS REQUIREMENT BY COVERING ALL PHASES OF SURGICAL CARE AS A MEASURE SET. PATIENT EDUCATION IN THE WAY OF WEB VIDEOS.

• FELLOWSHIP MATCH PROGRAMS - THE ADULT RECONSTRUCTIVE HIP AND KNEE FELLOWSHIP MATCH PROGRAM ASSISTS ORTHOPAEDIC RESIDENTS WITH OBTAINING FELLOWSHIPS IN ADULT RECONSTRUCTION IN AN ORDERLY WAY. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF HIP AND KNEE SURGEONS, THE HIP SOCIETY AND THE KNEE SOCIETY HAVE ESTABLISHED THIS FELLOWSHIP MATCH PROGRAM. RESIDENTS APPLY TO HOSPITALS THAT HAVE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS, AND ARE MATCHED TO PROGRAMS IN A BLINDED MUTUAL RANKING PROCESS FOR FURTHER FELLOWSHIP-LEVEL TRAINING.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
